Firefox

The pilot’s successor (it’s the successor to Netscape Navigator) is really a red panda (it’s a nickname for the rare red panda) with an unblinking lizard inside (one of the engines inside Firefox is Gecko, which is a lizard that can’t blink).

I look forward to your putting alternative cases.
